About Notice - NEVER WAIVE NOTICE

Free citation defense tips! Administrative citations website is about educating you to defend yourself against administrative citations. This is a law created in 1995 that permits cities and counties in California to fine you for just about anything (they appear to be used nationwide). This site was established because there is little self-help from any city on how to 'properly' oppose your citation. Lawyers that know this mysterious law are hard to find. These are 'punitive' citations that enrich your city. Basically it is a way of taxing you -- because a new tax will not pass. This is an attempt to bring together all the victims of administrative citations in the 540 local agencies within California (58 counties and 482 cities). Welcome to administrative citations.

About Notice - NEVER WAIVE NOTICE

Post by admin »

NOTICE - is a key issue in every legal procedure. Notice is required for due process. If you have no notice you have no information to act in one way or another.

The code officer must give you certain notice.

The city must give you certain notice.

The hearing officer must give you notice.

The court must give you notice.

At the end of every court hearing the judge will ask do you wish to waive notice. Never waive notice. You don't waive notice because every notice is the key document that triggers time issues. Such as time to appeal. Or time to reply. It seems nice to waive notice but waiving notice can contribute to a timing issue. Forcing notice will secure that issue as you will have your notice you were served that sets the time and date.
